                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002


I, John Reyes certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Public Storage
     Properties, Ltd.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly
     report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

     a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision
         to ensure that material information relating to the registrant,
         including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
         within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
         report is being prepared;

     b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
         procedures and presented in this report conclusions about the
         effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
         of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     c)  disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred the Registrant's most
         recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the
         case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
         reasonably likely to materially affect the registrant's internal
         control over financial reports; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
     directors (or person performing the equivalent functions):

     a)  all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
         operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
         employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting.
